Shreveport - The Centenary football team will play one final time on campus this fall as the Gents welcome the TWA College BattleCats to town for a contest set for 6 p.m. on Wednesday at Mayo Field.
The Gents (5-0) remained undefeated with a 23-6 victory over the John Melvin University Millers last Saturday at Gardner Memorial Stadium in Crowley. Centenary defeated the Millers for the second time this season following a 57-0 victory on Sept. 16 in Shreveport. TWA College is located in Austin, Texas
Centenary, which defeated North American University on Oct. 9 in Houston by a score of 47-0, was scored upon for the first time in 11 quarters of action on Saturday. The Gents have outscored the opposition 240-39 this season.
"We have a great challenge of playing three games in 10 days," said Centenary head coach Byron Dawson.
"We must be physically and mentally prepared for a midweek battle. We are so excited to be back on campus at Mayo field for a 6 p.m. kickoff under the lights. We must get better each and every week understanding that progress is a process. We also understand that when you stop getting better you stop being good."
Centenary will be off for 12 days following Wednesday's game and then return to action with a contest versus the Texas Lutheran JV squad on Monday, Oct. 30 at 5:30 p.m. The game will be played in Fort Worth, Texas at Lake County Christian High School but is considered a home game for the Gents. The Gents finish the season next month with a pair of road games at Arkansas Baptist (Nov. 4 – 2 p.m.) and at Lyon College (Nov. 11 – 2 p.m.).
NOTE: Wednesday's contest was originally scheduled to be played at Evangel Christian Academy
